Discover Greece's rich history and natural beauty on this rail biking and sea kayaking tour from Athens!
Athens, Greece's capital city, is a unique destination where ancient history meets modern culture. On this sightseeing tour from Athens, you'll combine a fascinating trip on a rail bike through the scenic countryside, with a delightful sea kayaking experience in Eleusis Bay!
The adventure begins at the starting point in Athens, where you'll be greeted by your friendly guide. In a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, you'll leave the city and drive to the departure point for your rail biking tour near Athens! After a quick safety and itinerary briefing, you'll board the vintage rail bike and set off on this remarkable tour. The railway track winds through Athens' vibrant countryside. Along the way, you'll be treated to mesmerising views of the sparkling waters of the Saronic Gulf, towering mountains, and lush greenery.
After your rail biking adventure, you'll head to Eleusis Bay for your exciting sea kayaking tour near Athens! Before starting the second activity, delicious bakery snacks such as cheese pies will be served. Then, the certified instructor will provide the equipment (kayak, paddle, and life jacket) and take you through a safety briefing and instructions for paddling. Once everyone is prepared, you'll start paddling along the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Eleusis Bay is located on the western coast of the Attica peninsula, home to beautiful views.
During your sea kayaking trip in Eleusis Bay, you'll paddle to the ruins of the MS Mediterranean Sky, a Greek cruise ship that became famous for its dramatic abandonment and capsizing in the bay. In 1996, due to financial difficulties, the ship was laid up in Eleusis Bay along with several other abandoned vessels. Eventually, it partially sank near the Eleusis coast, and the wreck is still visible in Eleusis Bay. The guide will share interesting facts about its historical significance. Afterwards, you'll return to the original starting point in Athens.
